- I would like some advice on the proper care of a thick katsura wood go
- board. I bought this board about 8 years ago, and it was originally
- finished with wax. I have done almost nothing to the board since then, other
- than rub it with a cloth occasionally. I have the following questions:
-
- 1. Is a wax or oil finish better for the board. What is traditional?
- Is either finish more likely to stain shell stones?
-
- 2. Should the top be finished? Will that harm the lines?
-
- 3. How does one apply the finish, and how does one care for it later?
-
- 4. Are there any problems in switching from a wax finish to an oil finish?
- How does one go about removing the wax?
